Hydraulic jack grinding noise

We have a 2017 3730FL fifth wheel. It sat in a garage for 6 months and when we attempted to raise the landing gear to hook up there is a grinding noise when raising the front jacks, if I briefly retract the gear and then raise it,the gear, the noise stops as long as I continue to raise it. If I stop and restart the grinding noise returns unless I again retract briefly and then raise the gear
Any suggestions. This is a lippert system. Is the motor bad? Air in the lines? The hydraulic fluid level is fine. Was a little low (about a pint) and I added some. The sound is definitely coming from the pump and reservoir area in front I Cannot see where any fluid leaked out over the summer. We will be on the road for 8 days then will be back in the town where we purchased the rig by November 1.
